i’m so hooked to this song. the beat is so catchy, it makes you wanna groove with it. hey hey hey~
starting my new semester of coaching with a new school, Bukit View Primary. kids, be nice to coach vicky please. after handling so many kids, you will realize that actually it’s fine looking after people’s kids…. just leave it as that. having your own is too much to handle. haha. that’s my mindset for now. maybe it might change in 5 years… we’ll see.
goodnight x
when i said i was gonna have a busy week ahead, i didn’t know i was gonna have a REALLY busy-mouth week. yes, i was busy working odd jobs throughout the week, but my mouth did as much work. haha. i think i ate the most in my life for one week :O i’m stuffed and a lot fatter. ughhh thinking about the calories puts me off… and i haven’t had time to run.
so i worked at OC on monday, well, my shop dhsunglass has a new combined outlet at OC. tuesday, i was back at hajilane and boy, it felt so good to be back to “home” – i need to try to start detaching myself from my comfort zone to move on and grow up in the working world. life’s too good here… i’m gna graduate (!!!) i can’t be stuck in my comfort zone sigh. reality sucks, this is why.
then came wednesday and thursday; my HSBC ASEAN conference. it was fun, met new friends, ushered and looked after business meetings. i wished i had the right mind to be able to earn myself a seat in the meetings. everyone looked rich, posh, atas, business-minded, smart….. i always wanted to be a businesswoman when i was young but as i grow up and learn more about it, it’s minus 5 points each day. haha. i hate 9-5pm job. how boring!
anyways we were so well-fed at work! the event was held at Fullerton Hotel.
here is why….
breakfast day 1
breakfast day 2
well, we can’t have Breakfast at Tiffany’s so i did breakfast at Fullerton (; you can’t say no to american breakfast, hotel’s pastries… they are always so good and tempting. and they are the same food from the buffet place for the conference attendees. nothing lacked.
rarely i see the sunrise in the morning at home, but here i am, 8am at CBD area.
and sharing with you my day 1 outfit of the day;
business wear. hahaha i’m wearing my formal dress from river island (i only got to wear it like…. 3 times?) and a topshop blazer. mmm i like business outfits, maybe because i don’t get to wear them often. the saying goes, the grass is always greener the other side.
the people i worked with were so fun to be with! one of them was my friend’s rugby friend and she was so lovable and funny. gosh, i wished the event was alittle longer haha. though i dread to wake up at 6am everyday, i liked the friends and i was really well-fed. i was STUFFED!
12 cupcakes – got it during lunch when i went out to buy morning break for the others.
ok i tell you my food timetable for the event.
8am: breakfast before you start work (unlimited hotel breakfast pastries and food)
10.30am: morning break (light cooked food; sausages, eggs, nuggets…)
12.15pm: lunch (hotel’s lunch; 3 course meal!!!)
3pm: tea break (oh gosh, more food….)
and throughout, the staff’s hotel room was filled with food!! whenever i was hungry (which seemed like all the time idk why?!), i will go to the room like a squirrel and find food.
ok this seem ridiculously good but its true. my 3 course lunch.
smoked duck
salmon mmm yums!
AND THIS IS THE SEXXXX BOMB. Oh my goodnesss…… i loved the rum, pear… whatever that went well with it. i could eat 10 of this, if only i won’t grow fat. sigh, why can’t good food have no calories. unfair!

so being me, i always have embarrassing moments and this event is no exception. despite knowing my new friends for just less than a day, i already embarrassed myself 
firstly, during morning break, i took my food at the buffet counter and went back. the guys working with me saw my plate beside theirs and got a shocked “eh victoria, you really eat alot for a girl…. you eat the same portion as us guys!” uh-oh :X i could only reply the best defense “you guys just eat TOO little!” aiyah damn, showed my true colours of gluttony. after that, because i’ve been eating too much “man portion”, i felt sleepy. i went to the room and took a power nap on the table. usually, whenever i wake up early anytime before 9am, i will feel tired and i need a nap in the afternoon. but smth else happened…. the hotel room was so quiet, having 4 people in the room including me, my in-charge doing emails opposite me and two of my colleagues beside me. i fell into deep sleep cos’ the room was too quiet, you could hear a needle drop. BUT smth too loud made its appearance. i only knew it at the end of the day when one of my male colleague told everyone “eh victoria you really eat a lot… sleep a lot too. just now in the room, it was so quiet, suddenly your stomach made a very loud sound! i wanted to laugh but when i look at the rest of them to see if they tried to laugh, they act blur so i followed them but it was so loud. i looked at you to see if you woke up but no, you were in deep sleep.” oh vicky, it wasn’t on purpose ): i was so embarrassed! unglam points -1000x!
the next day, i tried not to eat so much but i was still v hungry. then i try to make AS MUCH sound as i could in the quiet room cos’ i was so afraid my stomach might start calling. then when we were outside in the main hallway, not rly quiet and one of the manager was briefing us, SUDDENLY my stomach screamed. OMG everyone looked at me. i heard it myself!!!! I HAVE A MONSTER IN MY STOMACH OMGGGG IT TALKSSS AND SCREAMS IN AN ALIEN VOICE SO SCARY!
yikes. bad move, i’m now known as the girl who eats alot + have a noisy talking stomach. gastric juices, or idk what digestive juice but i just know they are violent.
i wonder if anyone have such embarrassing encounters. how do i get rid of those noisy sounds in my stomach???
alright, i’m gonna leave it as it is here. with my unglam story.
here’s the outfit of the day for my day 2 hsbc conference.
i love this one-piece dress! it’s from shop.jellybeenie if you’re wondering (: you can get yours there too! it comes in this colour, mint and cream or pink and black. haha. i’m a UK 8 – 10 so this is a rly good fitting for me.
(haiyah dress so nice, but my stomach talk too much)
goodbye x!
till next time, stay tune for my entry about Navy Open House 2013 (:
aloha, i’m sorry for the long hiatus but i’m proud & happy to say I’M BACKKKKK!
i’m so glad yet scared that exams are over. it’s a hot & cold thing… you h8 exams, you get so happy it’s finally over but you fear your results. the whole tramamama exam gives, it’s only a student’s privilege i’d say. haha. anyways, eversince my last paper on saturday, it was non-stop movement for me in my life. i hardly even sat at home or rest at home since sat!
after my paper, i was dead beat. all i wanted to do was go home, which i did and caught a good nap but almost overslept because i had a short nike 5km bff run at 6pm.
i brought my new shoes for her second run / first long mass run! lovin’ it, it’s so striking, you can hardly miss it. haha.
bff run says it all ; you can only run with your bff right?
then i bump into a old rugby friend! what a small world (:
and you know, this nike run is a girls run. well, guys, you wished you weren’t here and thank God you weren’t. haha. it’s so funny just being in a girls run and seeing all our “beautiful” habits! recently, i saw an article about “taking photo before food is considered a mental illness” – guilty as charged. and for this, “taking photo before you run, must be a mental illness”. gosh, i thought we were the only one doing it, but while waiting for our turn to run pass the start line, everywhere we go, people asked us to help them snap a shot, and in return, help us too. ok, we can’t blame entirely that we are weird…. the scenery was good! it was exactly where i teach rollerblading every sunday at gardens by the bay. who doesn’t wanna share the beautiful run scenery?
our happy mental illness haha!
and yeap, results of the nike run was out recently – i did under expectation i guess. i never ran 5km before so i don’t know my timing or what’s a good timing for it. i did 32 minutes… i was expected below 30 min for an aim :/ but ok. i didn’t train at all so i guess this will do. however, i think i could have done less than 30 minutes if not for people who actually hogged the way / the very very cramp squeezy small running route. it wasn’t enough to contain the huge number of runners! ok they had enough complaints on their facebook page and i know this isn’t nike organizers but it’s hi-velocity. nike is just a sponsor (fyi). so yes, i guess the route seemed ‘nice’ but when you are running competitively t push yourself, this is shit. it ruined my timing… half the time, i had to slow down and lose my momentum cos of inconsiderate people who ran tgt with their friends (or wait, should i say do a fun big walk/brisk walk) and they stood in one straight row! oh my goodness? if you wanna walk, it’s fine cos i understand you can be tired, but the unsaid ethics and courtesy is to think for those who are running at their top speed, at least keep to the side! sigh, pisses me off that i spent a few minutes “emergency braking” behind them and ended up strolling behind the strollers who pretends nobody is behind them. horrible.e
so besides that, i don’t have much complaint cos’ it makes up the whole run actually. – i even witnessed a guy who proposed to a girl at the finishing line when she finished running… awwwww- i’m not sure if i will ever participate nike run again cos’ it’s overcrowding and maybe the remaining 5 million people in singapore have not tried nike run, so the next is their turn and i shall step aside. i wanna join SHAPE! heard the goodies are good hehe. we shall see about that!
went for geylang dinner after with M and sailorboy. ok W was a sweetheart… he sent me to the run, and waited for me the whole time. thanks honey (though you might not see this) he’s really a great catch, i’m proud of my awesome fishing rod that brought me this good catch (; geyland mongkok dimsum was alright, i still miss swee choon the most. i MUST go back soon to eat the custard buns and red bean pancake -slurps. we ate to our hearts content and went home. after which, being the first night after exams, i wanted to drink so we went to J’Bar with xh for some drinks and darts but ok expected of me, i became a sleepy drunkard. haahahaha.
x
so if you’re wondering how i’m spending my holidays ever since the end of exams, i guess i haven’t start resting! monday came, i went back to work – i missed work so much ever since i stopped for the past month due to exams- some of my friends told me i need to rest and stop being a workaholic… i guess i’m rly not used to not working. it’s like when i’m doing nothing, i feel like finding something to do (which happened for shopjellybeenie.com!) worked at hook&union at OC on monday, my first day there since they opened that shop. i’m still under dh.sunglass, just that it joined hands with another shop to form hook & union. it’s nice and quiet but really cold. haha first world problem with central air-cons. i enjoyed coming back to work.
today, tuesday, i’m also back at work! ^^ back to owning the cameras/photos haha. however, back to my home work-land ; haji lane. missed this place, but i guess i wasn’t feeling well again. felt the giddiness and nauseousness. maybe because i haven’t had anything to eat yet. it was nice to be back (:
this whole week will be tiring for me, navy open house is happening end of this week btw! so do go visit the navy if you haven’t, cos’ it’s a really cool event and plus, you see cool & good looking guys (aka like W) doing their jobs to protect the nation (aka us!). weekends come, i’ll be busy working too cos’ W will be busy at the open house. tomorrow is kinda dreadful for me. i’m working for HSBC ASEAN conference and i have to be at fullerton hotel at 745am. ugh i’m a bad morning person. i can’t wait for the day to end…. i pray for the traffic to be kind to me tomorrow morning. damnit. CBD areas are CCBKNNSHAKSOWUE!!!
DREADING THIS BLAHHHHH
alright goodnight now!
